[jira] [Commented] (CB-238) Unable to Play Youtube or Vimeo Videos
in Android App
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-238?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13202486#comment-13202486 ]
Simon MacDonald commented on CB-238:
------------------------------------
If you are using the html5 video tag I've talked about the issue many times on this list. I even built a work around while we wait for Google to fix.

I'm going to close this issue for now as it is an Android problem we can't do much about.

> I am trying to play a video in my app using the Youtube or Vimeo iframe embed code. The video thumbnail appears and I can click play, but the video never actually plays in the simulator. The exact same code works in the Android browser, but as soon as I embed the code into phonegap, the videos do not play.
> I have done a bunch of searching around the web and it seems like this is a common problem. Do I have to enable anything special to make this work. It also works great in iOS...
